Have $1.5k desperately need full kit ASAP anyone know where or who selling them?
My car is in the shop waiting to be repainted after my someone rear ended me.
I'd like to do my conversion now since I don't have to pay for the paint job. I have a about $1.5k budget for the full kit. Can anyone help me out?
I can do an add on as well but then I would still need to buy a stock rear bumper.
Preferably an AMG kit but I can't see myself doing that with my budget.

Gonna be tough to find a full kit for that little money. Mine was all used AMG parts and it was $3500.00 after paint and install.
Do you have an additional 1500.00 on top of the insurance payout, or does that include the payout? My front bumper got a 1" crack on it and my insurance company paid me close to 2000.00.

I have a total of $2k for parts alone, 500 goes to rear tail lights. hence 1.5k for the front, sides and rear. I can add some additional $$ out of pocket but my car has 70k miles, shelling out too much cash out of pocket just won't be worth it. I plan on getting a CSL55/63 at the beginning of 09" the wife might take this one.
2700 goes to labor and paint.
total I got on my check is $4670 for the damages

Ebay and junk yards are your best option. There is a guy selling an E55 rear bumper on here. His username is diminchi, I believe.
Good luck!

I just remembered, if you go with an AMG rear, you're gonna need exhaust too.
Here's how mine turned out and the price list:

Ok just got back from the shop, I have $2k for the entire kit and I don't have time.... 
Was thinking this, do an 07" sports bumper and trunk finisher upgrade, add a roof and trunk spoiler and keep it clean?
YAH? NAY?
2nd option, after market lorinser kit? I can have that for just under my budget?
I need to make a decision by Monday.

E500 Sport
Dannieboiz - I'm in the process of getting an AMG kit for my '03 E500 sport, and will be selling my factory kit. I won't have any parts off by monday though. If you don't mind waiting, we can work something out. I'm in the Bay Area.

I'm PM'ing u with my #, call me ASAP lets talk.
BTW: I found a complete E55 front end locally as well for $800.
Perhaps I can do that and buy aftermarket rear and sides. The shop I'm working with is pretty good at fitting aftermarket kits.
I figured the front is the most fragile part the rear and side isn't going hit anything.
Any thoughts?
